A Troll Came For LeVar Burton’s ‘Happy’ Message And Spectacularly Missed The Point

Like a rainbow, LeVar Burton’s “Happy Thursday” message went totally over one online troll’s head.

Burton sent the good vibes to followers on X, formerly Twitter, with this throwback to “Reading Rainbow,” the educational children’s TV show he hosted for more than two decades:

But while Burton’s message was warmly received by most, one user appeared to take serious offense at the rainbow that appeared in the GIF.

“Can we go a day without any virtue signaling?” the user fumed.

The post received a community note pointing out Burton’s longtime involvement with the beloved series, which literally has the word “rainbow” in its title.

Burton simply responded with an open-mouthed emoji:
